Subject: Low FPS issue between React Native and Web (Zoom Video SDK)

Hi,

I’m experiencing a significant FPS drop when using Zoom Video SDK between React Native and Web clients.

  • Web → Web: video runs smoothly at ~24–30 FPS (expected)

  • React Native → Web: video drops to ~7 FPS, very choppy

Environment

  • Web SDK: @zoom/videosdk@^2.2.12

  • React Native SDK: @zoom/react-native-videosdk@^2.2.5

  • Devices tested:

    • MacBook Pro M1 Pro, 16 GB RAM

    • iPhone 16 Pro Max

Steps to reproduce

  1. Join a session with one user on Web.

  2. Join the same session with another user on React Native.

  3. Enable video streaming between them.

  4. Compare FPS on both ends.

Expected

React Native → Web video FPS should be consistent with Web → Web (~24–30 FPS).

Actual

React Native → Web video FPS is only ~7 FPS, causing noticeably degraded quality.

Could you please confirm if this is a known limitation or if there are configuration options to improve FPS on React Native?
